Veterinarian Dr. Simi Establishes Inaugural Clinic in Mexico City, Aims for First Hundred Branches in 2022
Scoop on SimiPet Care: Revolutionizing Veterinary Services in Mexico City
Get ready, pet parents! The game has just been changed, thanks to SimiPet Care, a groundbreaking initiative by Farmacias Similares. This innovative model of veterinary clinics is stepping up to the plate to provide affordable care for our furry friends, especially considering that over 60 million dogs and cats in Mexico are in dire need of medical attention[1]!
The company, known for its pharmaceutical price-reducing prowess, is eager to shake things up and is readying to open at least 20 SimiPet Care units in Mexico City in the upcoming months[1]. If things go smoothly, they could even reach a whopping 100 veterinary clinics this year[1]!
"You never know, maybe we'll hit 100 this year. It all depends on our success. Our system is a win-win," proclaimed Victor Gonzalez Herrera, executive president of Farmacias Similares[1].
Say Goodbye to Financial Woes: Affordable Care for All
With SimiPet Care, you can kiss your wallet's worries goodbye as the company seeks to cater to the booming demand for budget-friendly veterinary services. Many pet owners struggle to foot the bill for consultations, meds, and treatments, and this new initiative is here to provide them with some well-deserved relief[1]!
The clinics will offer basic services for your furry friends, such as vaccinations, deworming, dressings and bandages, glucose tests, and travel certificates. Additionally, low-cost veterinary medications like antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and analgesics will be available, thanks to deals with existing suppliers within the Farmacias Similares network[1]!
Diverse and Adaptable: Climbing Towards Success
Gonzalez Herrera highlighted that their business model will be versatile, encompassing:
- Clinics within existing pharmacies
- Standalone units
- "Combo" packages featuring a store and clinic
- Franchise formats
"We're learning the ropes. Health is health, and it includes pets too," pointed out the executive[1]. The first 20 units are set to open in different zones of Mexico City, with 10 locations already identified[1]. If things go well, the model will be replicated in other cities across Mexico.
Bring on the Competition: The more, the merrier!
With the recent entry of Farmacias del Ahorro into the same segment, Gonzalez Herrera welcomed the competition with open arms: "It's great they're catching on to us. We aim to drive market prices down. Our approach serves as a regulatory check, as we did for medicines."
Meanwhile, Victor Gonzalez Torres, founder of the chain and better known as Dr. Simi, extended a warm welcome to new competitors: "I congratulate them and wish them luck!"
Consultations at SimiPet Care will offer a promotional price of 75 pesos, and will be run by licensed veterinarians from respected universities[1]. As the service expands, they plan to cater to other domestic species like rabbits and ferrets[1]!
